Chicken embryo survival (number of embryos), body weight (g), and weight of selected
organs (g/100 g body weight) in the control group and in groups treated with different
concentrations of platinum nanoparticles (1 to 20 μg/ml). SEM standard error of the mean. Means with different letters differ significantly; *P < 0.05.
